Hello to everyone. Busy day today. We had brekky and set off just after 9.00. Caught the train from Brugge to Kortrijk then anor train on to Lille. We had a wait there as we were not booked on our train to Paris until 3.00 not to worry we had quite a few things to do anyway what with activating our Eurail passes etc, the first two trains were great only us for a while the Paris train was pretty much packed but you do have to have that booked which we had of course. Arrived here at about 4.30 caught a taxi to where we are staying our taxi driver was a funny man very Danny Di Vito had about 15 arguments with other drivers in the first half a kilometre, we are staying in an apartment in Vincennes the cabbie made it sound like the countryside. We have been out got a few supplies had dinner at an Indian place now having a bit of a relax in preparation for the next few days of sightseeing. We have something nice and spacious to come back to I have even bought a bunch of peonies to put in the vase, very pretty. Anyway I will sign off and talk soon.
Make sure you do a tour of the sewers in Paris! It's only €4.50 and any municipal engineer would love it. Enter at a little ticket box on the south side of the river, just to the east of Pont de l'Alma.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday for yesterday! We have had a ridiculous amount of rain and the entire landscape is squelchy like a wet sponge. When it dries out I'll mow the grass...
